I'm sure this is asked all the time and I apologize in advance, but I need help picking a graphics card. This is for a gaming system that need to be built as cheap as possible, but still be usable. To fit the budget, I'm looking for a video card in the $50 to $80 range. I figure that in gaming, video cards are important so I want to get one I'm happy with. I plan on mostly playing games along the lines of Counter Strike: Source.

So far, all I've really found is this one.
GeForce 7600GS ($80)

There are a lot of graphics cards out there so I don't really know what else to look at. Any suggestions? Maybe some cheaper ones out there that are comparable?

Thanks.
 
for an extra $20 you can get a 7600gt (after rebate at newegg). It's much better than the gs and not that much more expensive.
 
Sell me yours, looks like your upgrading soon. lol :)

Would the 7600 gt be overkill for a basic gaming system? I plan on running 1GB RAM and a 1.8 GHz or higher processor.
